PE Kit

PE is a statutory part of the curriculum and children are entitled to 2 hours of PE each week from KS1 upwards.
 
As you will be aware from Mrs Lawson’s letter last week, it is compulsory that children are required to have their PE kit in school. Our uniform policy states that:
 
‘The school has adopted the following uniform for PE lessons:

• A white t-shirt
• A pair of black shorts
• A pair of black pumps / black trainers
• During winter months, children may wear a pair of black jogging bottoms and a black jumper.’

Last year, we decided to bring in a new reward system for those children who always bring ALL their PE kit to school. Unfortunately, due to the school closure in March, the new system was not up and running for long. However, in the few weeks that we were able to monitor progress, we did notice that there was a positive impact on the number of children bringing their kit to school.
 
The system is was and will continue to be closely monitored. Therefore, if a pupil does not have the required kit or cannot remove earrings, then this will result in an initial verbal reminder to the child, followed by a letter to parents/carers if the reminder proves to be unsuccessful.
 
We really appreciate those who do bring their PE kits to school religiously and want to make sure that this does not go unnoticed; therefore children who bring their PE kits every week will be rewarded with Dojo Points and will be invited to a sporting session with Mr Smith at the end of the each term.
 
It is recommended that PE kits are brought to school on a Monday and left until Friday in case PE slots are changed or there are extra sporting activities taking place that week.
 
Thank you for your support and understanding. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact school.
